Bruise, Sore, Knots In Legs After Bitten By Dog. Dog Is Vaccinated. Medical Cure For This?

I just got bit by the neighbors dog. It barely broke the skin, dog is vaccinated by big concern is muscle bruising. I had been severely bitten several times in the past by another neighbors dog a while back and after treating all the bleeding I still had knots on my legs for months. this bite was on the back of my upper leg and would be really uncomfortable to have this kind of reaction there. Its already bruising and sore, is there anything I can do to help prevent muscle bruising and knots. I'm a serious runner and really don't want to take any more time off from my training because of a sore quad.

You have to take tetanus injection with complete course of anti rabies vaccine.
(on 0,3,7,14,28 th day) even after mild scratch of any type of dog.
Knot is due to blood collection inside soft tissue with fibrous formation.
You have to take nsaid with serratiopeptidase.
Proper cleaning is required immediately with antiseptic liquid after biting.
Consult your family physician for further guidance and proper medical management.
